Simple cover for laundry drying hanger

ABSTRACT

Traditional laundry drying hanger covers would either restrict wind flow or have problems where the lower portions thereof would be lifted up by the wind. These issues are due to a lack of space between the laundry being dried and the cover, the lower portions being too unrestricted, and the top surface being designed to have the same size and shape as the frame of a hanger. The present invention is configured such that the top surface of the cover is circular or oval-shaped with a size larger than the frame of the hanger and such that a lower portion fabric of an appropriate length is added to the periphery of the top surface of the cover. This configuration allows the cover to be used for a variety of shapes of hangers, allows laundry to dry while being blown by the wind, and prevents the lower portions from being lifted up.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a cover which is hung from the upperpart of a laundry drying hanger so as to cover the whole hanger, andthus protects laundry from dust and the like, and prevents the laundryfrom being seen by others.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventional laundry drying hanger covers include covers sewn intothree-dimensional shapes such as cubical and cylindrical shapes so as tosuit to the shapes of various drying hangers (e.g., see PATENTLITERATURE 1).

There is also a cover configured to cover with a flat fabric (e.g., seePATENT LITERATURE 2).

SUMMARY OF INVENTION Technical Problem

The cover of PATENT LITERATURE 1 described above is formed into acubical or cylindrical shape. Thus, this cover is not flapped by thewind due to lack of room between the cover and laundry, and thereforedoes not allow the laundry to easily dry, and has difficulty in adaptingto hangers having other shapes. The cover of PATENT LITERATURE 2 allowslaundry to be blown by the wind and easy dry, and can adapt to hangershaving various shapes, but has a bottom remaining lifted up by a strongwind and becomes useless.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems of suchconventional configurations, and an object of the present invention isto allow laundry to be flapped by the wind, prevent a bottom fromremaining lifted up by a strong wind, and adapt to hangers havingvarious shapes.

Solution to Problem

Furthermore, in order to achieve the above-described object, the presentinvention uses, for a top, a circular or oval fabric having a sizelarger than a frame of a laundry drying hanger, and adds a bottom fabricof an appropriate length to the periphery of the top, thereby providinga balloon-like shape.

Effects by the above-described solution of the problems are as follows.It is possible to adapt to laundry drying hangers having various shapesby using, for a top, a circular or oval fabric having a size larger thana frame of a laundry drying hanger. A balloon-like shape is provided byadding a bottom fabric of an appropriate length to the periphery of thetop. This produces a space to be filled with the wind, and allowslaundry to dry while being blown by the wind and streaming. Since thebottom is relatively closed as in a balloon, it is possible to preventthe bottom from remaining lifted up by a strong wind.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

As described above, a laundry drying hanger cover of the presentinvention allows laundry to dry while being flapped by the wind,prevents a bottom from remaining lifted up by a strong wind, and canadapt to laundry drying hangers having any shapes.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be describedwith reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIG. 1, the reference sign 1 denotes a hook of a laundry dryinghanger, and the hook 1 is passed through a hole 2, and then a cover 3 issuspended so as to cover the whole hanger. A dotted line 4 is a seamwhere a top fabric and a bottom fabric are sewn together. The referencesign 5 denotes clips which fix the cover to a frame of the hanger.

In FIG. 2, four parts of the whole cover are fixed by the clips 5.
